Watch her eyes through this performance. Before you criticize her voice, observe her eyes. Watch how they rove around, looking for a safe place to focus- she shows the characteristics of someone who is TERRIFIED. She constantly closes her eyes, and keeps her gaze down. She has little self esteem as it is, and it effects her performance always. Leave her alone, she is amazingly talented, just unappreciated. If you don't like her that's fine but stop being so harsh.
Shia Mortem Only because she sings different everytime doesnt mean she has low selfconfidence...She gives us something precious with every live performance..Most people are jealous bc they can sing a song a 1000 times the same way..Good for you! Why arent you famous? Bc you dont have the soul to write and sing great lyrics with a angelic voice.. ;D
THANK YOU FOR THIS COMMENT! I've always said that she has a stage fright but nobody believed me! Finally, u said it enough profesionally for them to believe u ❤👍
The problem is that We are used to listen to singers like christina aguilera or beyonce and thats about it , being a powerhouse is not the only way to be a singer, lana doesn't have a super strong voice nor uses whistle register, belting or any of those fancy techniques, but she sings from her heart , very calm , very beautiful and i respect her for being different. Thiis is like every other aspect of life, each singer has their own style and would be boring as fuck if they all sing the same , if u dont like this dont come here and neither say shes bad just because its not your style , thanks
BIGGEST ARTIST EVER!!!! Once she dies, then you’ll see how the music industry and everyone will place her in the pedestal and win lots of awards. Why do people idolise and appreciate true artists more once they die. So sad 🥀
Ivie Lee The way she does it is how you can tell if the performer is serious about what she sings. Because most of pop stars are faking it bigtime. They have no idea about feelings they sing about.
At the end of the video 3:35, she looked really sad. To us, it was just a performance, a very beautiful one. But to Lana, she was recounting her life story in 3 and a half minutes. She was damaged and depressed, yet she gave us her all. This is one of the most authentic performances I've ever seen
The universe of sorrows behind Lana del Rey's brand and aesthetics is so haunting, and mainly the reason why I do films. She's an encyclopedia of inspiration for me, to the point where my film "Tears of Oizys" - being inspired heavily by her song "California" - made it to become an award winning film. ua-cam.com/video/nSC4ptU79-8/v-deo.html
I really don't know why y'all complain in the comment section.. this is the most beautiful performance of Lana I've ever seen. I'd kill to experience this LIVE. What a woman. What a song. What a voice. I'm in love. BYE.
I’d say one of her better live performances. Lana’s got quite a gap between her studio and live performance imo. I’m not trying to bash her or something, just sharing opinion. An example of chick singer who was virtually indistinguishable studio / stage is of course 70s Emmylou Harris.
Her songs make me cry. Happy tears only. Being in love + listening to her songs= 😭😌🙏🎶💕 "..No one compares, you stand alone... To every record I own.... Music to my heart, that's what you are.... A song that goes on & on.." She makes me sleep & makes me love him even more. Imma sing this to my children, imma sing it to him TvT
No Lana loves loud crowds, go watch some brazilian lives, she feel loved and surprised and she starts to give it back. But the truth is most of us listen to her to feel the pain to live, so we close our eyes and cry inside, this is I think, the way to listen to her so when she feels the pain in the crowd she can't really breathe.
Haha i think she is shes not a plastic artist, she likes to sing and loves to write she dont care about money, she just love to Express her feelings its sucks that ppl prefer to listen to emptiness than real music
Her voice is so different... I love the way she sounds when she sings "I just", and then she goes and changes her voice completely and it ends up sounding way deeper when she sings the "ride" part. It's really unique.
The fact that she can literally sing however she wants and yet her speaking voice has nothing to do with how she sings amazes me, she deserved all the appreciaion she could get
madison guidry. That woman is Sharon Den Adel, the lead singer of the band Within Temptation, I suggest to listen to them cause they are honestly so good💕
Most of you people don't get that it's not about hitting the notes perfectly, her flaws and the way that she sings so imperfectly makes her songs so beautiful. I admit, she isn't the best singer but her voice is so unique in a way that makes you keep on coming back for more, that's my definition of being a "good singer". Smh.
She's more appreciated in other countries than in the US I think. The singer at the show with her (Sharon De adel) is a fan and covered one of her songs, Summer time sadness, her smile at the end while watching Lana is so precious. I love both of them.
This smile.. At the end... It is so sad... So true... We can really see in this performance how much Lana del rey is a true artiste, singing what she feels..
Sarah Pruitt there is no doubt that there her music has a melancholy feel to it. I love that. She also exudes vulnerability that reminds me of Marilyn Monroe I hope she avoids the fate of the latter.
Why does everything nowadays have to be so friggin' upbeat? I find that kind of smiley-face music kind of predictable and superficial. I love the nostalgic "melancholy" mood she weaves..
Tony Fakhry dunno if someone's already answered you but a lot of the people in the crowd have special needs! langs is a dutch program that helps people in need. so they might be into it but might not show on their faces :)
Ars Zerim see your point, but depends on the place and artist. Enough concerts in The Netherlands where the crowd is going nuts. Mostly at smaller venues with rock/punk/folk.
I've been out on that open road You can be my full time daddy, White and gold Singing blues has been getting old You can be my full-time baby, Hot or cold Don't break me down I've been travelin' too long I've been trying too hard With one pretty song I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast, I am alone in midnight Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble, But I, I've got a war in my mind So, I just ride, just ride, I just ride, just ride Dying young and I'm playing hard That's the way my father made his life an art Drink all day and we talk 'til dark That's the way the road dogs do it: ride 'til dark. Don't leave me now Don't say good-bye Don't turn around Leave me high and dry I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast, I am alone in midnight Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble, But I, I've got a war in my mind I just ride, just ride, I just ride, just ride I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucking crazy I'm tired of driving 'til I see stars in my eyes All I've got to keep myself sane, baby So I just ride, I just ride I hear the birds on the summer breeze, I drive fast, I am alone in midnight Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble, But I, I've got a war in my mind I just ride, just ride, I just ride, I just ride
I know why I am so inlove and feel so related to lana. Because she's damaged, you can see it in her eyes, she's nervous, she's a real person. Her self esteem is low, she has battled depression, but look how talented this beautiful woman is. I will never respect anyone else so much in my life.
I remember being obsessed with this video and lana in general when I was younger. Like I thought it was the most beautiful thing ever but I couldn't understand how something so beautiful could seem so sad.. she's so good
I feel so compelled to write something even though and I know it will drown in other comments of admiration, as it should. I never thought a contemporary artist could evoke such feelings as she does. She makes me die inside aswell as heal inside. Even though she will never see this, thank you Lana. Your music has in times of my darkest despair been lifesaving.
Laura Meirelles We rarely do, you have to admit that. If you see videos of artists performing in Europe and then in the USA, you will sure find huge differences of the audience. The one is not better than the other ;)
People don't get that music has been so saturated with auto tune that when something genuine comes along its immediately criticized. This is what Genuine music looks like. Humans will never get a note perfect but near perfection is just enough. And the natural music will feel more genuine and add character.
What the fuck? She's already one of the best vocalists in the industry. She doesn't need 10 years. An artist has true soul in their music not perfect melodies or notes...look at the way she sings this song...that's all that matters. I fucking you love Lana, thank you for getting me through all my dark and tumultuous items
I didn't know her till today. I'm swepped away....Never had that feeling anymore since I heard Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust". What a privilege to be there listening live....
Imperfect and perfect. Cued this up for the beginning of a long drive… Basically played it over and over for the whole drive.. Hardest part was to keep from picking up the phone and watching her sing it..that’s half the vibe
She is such a sweetheart. Honestly, I'm in love with her music, but she's an absolutely beautiful person inside and out. She loves her fans so much, she has such a beautiful soul.
i can't believe people are critiquing her voice, she sounds amazing. her facial expressions make this an emotional experience, and the music sounds incredible.
Am I the only one that finds a haunting connection between Lana, the song and that serious/sad looking blonde guy in the audience, it makes this weird connection in my brain.
you want to know why Lana is popular now? yea she doesn't have the best vocals but at least she's believable like when she sings you can hear her pain and people can relate to her
sasha gayevskaya agreed! u dont have to be able to do vocal acrobatics to reach into people's souls, and thats what she does. she relates to the human soul and nature, whereas most of today's artists can only sing about the superficial and shallow.
The best proof of you said is the fact that, even whit the bad criticism she get from her performance at SNL , which I don't agree whit, she got success after....
I think I've put my finger on why Lana Del Rey is so different and hard to get used to in concert. She doesn't put herself above the audience figuratively speaking. Look at Beyonce or whatever, they're in positions of power, they come out on stage like they own the world. Lana is kind of gutter trash. And it's beautiful. That's why her 'stage' presence in flashy shows doesn't work for me. She's got such an intimate thing. You feel close to her. She's right there with you, maybe even lower than you. In all the lights and distance of the more high end shows you lose touch with her because something like Lana has to be felt and absorbed, not just witnessed, certainly not idolized. I adore her for that. She's get's in there like a bee sting, but only if you're there with her. Okay, I'm done now.
Kind of like a homeless woman/man on the streets begging for food. They express all their emotions and weaknesses for the dollar bill, intimate, or a stripper at a dive club exposing herself to the world. It has go be felt and seen in person, because shes there.... unlike a star who doesnt see you.
Lana Del Rey also has songs about sex??? I love both her and Beyoncé even though they are such different singers. Beyoncé is powerful in the sense that she dominated her field and has a lot of confidence in her signing. However Lana is powerful in how vulnerable she can make you feel. I don't think that women singing about sex makes them a worse artist than their counterparts anyways
That is so true. The first time I saw a live performance of her I just thought That she was just like a regular girl there, her presence, the way she stands, her cute shame for being there, even the way she dresses and holds the microphone, when she looks at the audience... It feels like she's like everyone else there, just enjoying the song.
I wonder why some people say she can't sing. she sings pretty well to me... That SNL performance was just one thing, it's pretty hard to start with the right tune.
Man, I always find myself coming back to these videos instead of listening to the actual track. There’s something so… peaceful about watching her sing live. A different vibe. It gives me chills every time.
Look at her, pure talent and emotion. While Sharon Den Adel, powerful metal vocalist and Lana fan looks on in amazement. The atmosphere must have been magical.
My favorite part about this performance besides Lizzy, is watching the host on the couch completely entranced by Lanas raw emotions pouring all over that stage like a glitter bomb just exploded.
Every time I see her in a more vulnerable setting, like preforming without tons of screaming fans or just out by herself on the town, I can see this raw and open quality about her that is so very human. There are time when she is not happy, and there is a deep discontent inside of her. Truly a beautiful woman, a great voice for this generation and the emotions it holds.
Not technically but something about this performance hits so deep I'm not even a lana del rey fan but i still love this performance from the bottom of my heart

I don't wanna die before I can see her singing this live. Such a beautiful song, and such a beautitul voice. She is my favorite for sure
Her live performances are wonderful and I’m glad to have seen her live: although having 3,000 people singing every word didn’t help.
I saw her in Liverpool. It was one of the most amazing things i've ever done. She was ethereal.

She’s so fashionable in all her performance. Classy and vintage.
True, i love your words, shes so vintage, like one of those yellow pictures so old and aged from a very old time that will never return.
shut up dude
Su eyeliner es precioso
This performance has captivated me for years. The vulnerability, the voice. Everybody is mesmerized by the end... I love her so much.
same!!

Voice is pretty bad tbh

D accord
The vulnerability in Lana's eyes and voice, so raw and amazing
true
a specially eyebrows ;) Voice is also not raw, and real
I want to date lana always been my only dream
It’s the microphone and echo.
Similar to live performance of mazzy star fade into you .
people seriously underestimate how POWERFUL her voice is
As a vocalist, she is overrated, she is using really weak diaphragm support in this performance
@@jacqueline-delphine5160 maybe that’s her artistic intention
@@lara7224 UGGGGGGGG I highly doubt that she is purposely singing badly to express artistry
@@jacqueline-delphine5160 “bad” and “good” is subjective and art is whatever you make of itttt lol

hopefully one day
grammys are shit
pls I hope this happens
not even necessary, grammys are 💩 only for the people who is part of the dirty music industry, not like lana, actually self made!
Nah i hope she wins grammy and breaks it on stage, thats what the scammys deserve
The smile at 3:35 makes her look like she feels that she hasn't done well enough to impress anyone when really she was amazing
she lacks confidence
This makes me so sad

why do i relate to that so much

That audience don't know how lucky they are id give anything to go to a Lana Concert
thats what i was thinking
mee toooo
They're probably just in shock of how awesome she is!!
I cry only hearing her. I don't know what I would do if I was there.
I thought the same, they don't really seem to care :D
Poor Lana baby. She did amazingly. Their old timer ears don’t appreciate timeless music..
The people in the audience had special needs...
Do you even know this show?? It’s for people with special needs.
That’s why I hate my country
RAANA Syed lol my bad
It not an English speaking country.
Probably one of her best live performances.

i’m literally about to cry now
It could also be because of SNL idk

The universe of sorrows behind Lana del Rey's brand and aesthetics is so haunting, and mainly the reason why I do films.

I would pass away if I heard Ride live. All time favorite song
i know she struggles with stage freight and she honestly killed this. luv her forever
Omg I didn't know she had stage fright wow I have even more respect for her now

No Lana loves loud crowds, go watch some brazilian lives, she feel loved and surprised and she starts to give it back. But the truth is most of us listen to her to feel the pain to live, so we close our eyes and cry inside, this is I think, the way to listen to her so when she feels the pain in the crowd she can't really breathe.

White and gold
Singing blues has been getting old
You can be my full-time baby,
Hot or cold
Don't break me down
I've been travelin' too long
I've been trying too hard
With one pretty song
I hear the birds on the summer breeze,
I drive fast, I am alone in midnight
Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble,
But I, I've got a war in my mind
So, I just ride, just ride,
I just ride, just ride
Dying young and I'm playing hard
That's the way my father made his life an art
Drink all day and we talk 'til dark
That's the way the road dogs do it: ride 'til dark.
Don't leave me now
Don't say good-bye
Don't turn around
Leave me high and dry
I hear the birds on the summer breeze,
I drive fast, I am alone in midnight
Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble,
But I, I've got a war in my mind
I just ride, just ride,
I just ride, just ride
I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucking crazy
I'm tired of driving 'til I see stars in my eyes
All I've got to keep myself sane, baby
So I just ride, I just ride
I hear the birds on the summer breeze,
I drive fast, I am alone in midnight
Been tryin' hard not to get into trouble,
But I, I've got a war in my mind
I just ride, just ride,
I just ride, I just ride

god. this is one of her best performances and the audience doesn't even care. ugh
They do clap, they just wait a few seconds. There's another video on youtube showing the full length performance including an interview beforehand :)
***** We do clap in Europe. What are you talking about? ahahah
we clap during the performance as well.
She's brillant ♥
Laura Meirelles
We rarely do, you have to admit that. If you see videos of artists performing in Europe and then in the USA, you will sure find huge differences of the audience.
The one is not better than the other ;)
People don't get that music has been so saturated with auto tune that when something genuine comes along its immediately criticized. This is what Genuine music looks like. Humans will never get a note perfect but near perfection is just enough. And the natural music will feel more genuine and add character.
I have no fucking idea how, but one day I will marry this woman
@Ester Nesief haha yeah
Creepy
Me too
were the same i want to marry her too im gay for her
What the fuck? She's already one of the best vocalists in the industry. She doesn't need 10 years. An artist has true soul in their music not perfect melodies or notes...look at the way she sings this song...that's all that matters. I fucking you love Lana, thank you for getting me through all my dark and tumultuous items
One of her best performance in my opinion
Well, i share that opinion with you!
I burst into tears every time I hear this song... gets me every time
I didn't know her till today. I'm swepped away....Never had that feeling anymore since I heard Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust". What a privilege to be there listening live....
I love everything about the way she performs this song
Me too
probably one of the best live performance by her
+Xaviana B agree
You should hear her live "video games" on American idol or her "blue jeans" on 98.7. Gold!!
+apeiceofmoldedclay thabnk u!!!!!
+Xaviana B what about Letterman
you should listen to million dollar man live it's really good too (itunes festival)
Imperfect and perfect.
Cued this up for the beginning of a long drive…
Basically played it over and over for the whole drive..
Hardest part was to keep from picking up the phone and watching her sing it..that’s half the vibe
No one seems to know but in the audience we have Sharon Den Adel, one of greatest voices of metal. And she is astonished and amazed.
Yes hahaha
Yeah, one of the queens of symphonic metal 🤘🏻❤
She does like singers used to do. No fancy shit. Just sing. Simply stand up and sing from your heart. And it sounds amazing.
She is such a sweetheart. Honestly, I'm in love with her music, but she's an absolutely beautiful person inside and out. She loves her fans so much, she has such a beautiful soul.
agreed! she's so humble
i can't believe people are critiquing her voice, she sounds amazing. her facial expressions make this an emotional experience, and the music sounds incredible.
She's majestic here
Am I the only one that finds a haunting connection between Lana, the song and that serious/sad looking blonde guy in the audience, it makes this weird connection in my brain.
He looks like he doesn't want to be there lol. He's hot though
Chris Jimenez he sure is
Cherry Chanel lol I'm only looking at him cause he is hot.
+Cherry Chanel yes! thank you! I was just about to say that the guy behind her represents that kind of nostalgic sadness I feel when I listen to Lana
melnjada2 I know lol, I mean it's such pretty weird timing... but in a good way.
She has like this gorgeous mermaid voice. 😭
By the time you get to the end, you realize you've seen something quite special and magical.
I've always had such a deep connection with this song, but this video never fails to make me tear up. I love you Lana.
same here
+Ciara Nicola same here
you want to know why Lana is popular now? yea she doesn't have the best vocals but at least she's believable like when she sings you can hear her pain and people can relate to her
I think she has one of the best voices, it's unique and different..
sasha gayevskaya agreed! u dont have to be able to do vocal acrobatics to reach into people's souls, and thats what she does. she relates to the human soul and nature, whereas most of today's artists can only sing about the superficial and shallow.
alana volskaya exactly imperfect is perfect
you are both so right :) I agree with you
The best proof of you said is the fact that, even whit the bad criticism she get from her performance at SNL , which I don't agree whit, she got success after....
This is pretty special. Timeless.
Her vocals is amazing
The world stopped to listen to her sing!
best commentary ever
I think I've put my finger on why Lana Del Rey is so different and hard to get used to in concert. She doesn't put herself above the audience figuratively speaking. Look at Beyonce or whatever, they're in positions of power, they come out on stage like they own the world. Lana is kind of gutter trash. And it's beautiful. That's why her 'stage' presence in flashy shows doesn't work for me. She's got such an intimate thing. You feel close to her. She's right there with you, maybe even lower than you. In all the lights and distance of the more high end shows you lose touch with her because something like Lana has to be felt and absorbed, not just witnessed, certainly not idolized. I adore her for that. She's get's in there like a bee sting, but only if you're there with her. Okay, I'm done now.
Jo Thomas hope one day the world will read this. that's why I love her and why people don't understand her.
Can't tell if you're praising or shading her..
Kind of like a homeless woman/man on the streets begging for food. They express all their emotions and weaknesses for the dollar bill, intimate, or a stripper at a dive club exposing herself to the world. It has go be felt and seen in person, because shes there.... unlike a star who doesnt see you.
Lana Del Rey also has songs about sex??? I love both her and Beyoncé even though they are such different singers. Beyoncé is powerful in the sense that she dominated her field and has a lot of confidence in her signing. However Lana is powerful in how vulnerable she can make you feel. I don't think that women singing about sex makes them a worse artist than their counterparts anyways
That is so true. The first time I saw a live performance of her I just thought That she was just like a regular girl there, her presence, the way she stands, her cute shame for being there, even the way she dresses and holds the microphone, when she looks at the audience... It feels like she's like everyone else there, just enjoying the song.
2:39 look at lanas smile so pretty
She is authentically talented
Unique
Beyond beautiful
Heart wrenching
That broken smile at 03:35 ..
I noticed it to
I seen it before....
On Marilyn Monroe
Oh Lawd LINK IT
She knew it wasn't a great performance.
Oh Lawd so have I
I wonder why some people say she can't sing. she sings pretty well to me... That SNL performance was just one thing, it's pretty hard to start with the right tune.
she suffrs from stage fright so her voice starts breaking and shivering live (sometimes only) and people mistake that for lack of talent
+i dunno don't we all get stage fright tho?
zoe allen We do, but like different intensities... and in her case, she's also in live TV.
Karl Lubangas her voice just sounds like a tween at SOME parts. I like her voice, but can understand why others don't.
50,513 people (99.98%) liked the video. There will be 0.02% of the population who say anything crazy. No need to waste time thinking about them.
PQP QUE MÚSICA, QUE MULHER QUE VOZ DEUSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Amooooo vdd+, maravilhosa 👏🥰
This never get old
That broken smile at the end :(
Man, I always find myself coming back to these videos instead of listening to the actual track. There’s something so… peaceful about watching her sing live. A different vibe. It gives me chills every time.
Thats big true. Lana excels live 🤩
Same. This version is just perfection
@@millenium_underground3391 Can confirm, four years later.
Look at her, pure talent and emotion. While Sharon Den Adel, powerful metal vocalist and Lana fan looks on in amazement. The atmosphere must have been magical.
This was completely amazing and breathtaking
My favorite part about this performance besides Lizzy, is watching the host on the couch completely entranced by Lanas raw emotions pouring all over that stage like a glitter bomb just exploded.
Exactly. Thank you for this comment!
ENTRANCED?! 🤣 the guy on the couch was CLEARLY making a face.
Love your poetic description!
Every time I see her in a more vulnerable setting, like preforming without tons of screaming fans or just out by herself on the town, I can see this raw and open quality about her that is so very human. There are time when she is not happy, and there is a deep discontent inside of her. Truly a beautiful woman, a great voice for this generation and the emotions it holds.
Your comment is everything and I am dead in a good way
Absolutely,you've nailed it.A great artist and a magnificent woman
I gotta say the biggest lie here is that this is HD.
This video gains 1m views every time I come back
school bus guru right!? I was like no way did this have 9million last time I watched this lol.
BEST LIVE PERFORMANCE IN ENTIRE MUSIC HISTORY FOREVER
Are you fucking joking?
lol you need to stop writing hate comments on every lana del rey video and move on girl. I think you jelly.
k you know what. I think you need to get laid. dont worry I would still do you even if you are uglly.
Not technically but something about this performance hits so deep
I'm not even a lana del rey fan but i still love this performance from the bottom of my heart
